Made this as written for DH and myself tonight - very good flavor - it was a bit spicy for me as I bought hot green chilis (canned) but DH really liked it - next time I make this, and there will be a next time, I'll either purchase fresh green chilis or used the mild version in the can. Very smooth and tasty. Thanks for posting Peggy Lynn.

So tasty! Wouldn't change a thing. Made 1/2 spicy with chilies and 1/2 without for my non-spicy friend - both lovely. Have made twice already, and once had to leave assembled enchiladas with cream poured over in foil covered dishes in the fridge for 3 days! due to unforseen circumstances. These were still great only baking three days later. Thanks for a lovely, easy and tasty recipe.

These were to die for! 'Bout fell outta my chair. That cream & cheese sauce got it goin' on! In fact, next time I will be doubling the sauce (I did heat it on the stove) and having some for serving! I have never made enchiladas and I'm afraid I may never try another recipe. These rock! Even as much as I hate assembling things I'm cooking, I will be making these often!

Very good, very rich enchiladas. Good comfort food. I think I might've preferred using seafood instead of chicken. I almost doubled the chicken (just used what was in the package) and onion, and I used a whole can of broth but still only used 8 oz of cream cheese. Also doubled the chilies--which I didn't drain--and used both monterery jack and cheddar cheeses on top. Probably didn't quite use 2 c. of whipping cream, either.
